Spring Flowers for Gran


Evening everyone! Happy Spring equinox!
Its officially spring and almost weekend and boy I can't wait! 

I actually managed to leave work a bit earlier this afternoon to take my young lady to the doctors...nothing too drastic just an infection and antibiotics to clear it up! Pretty sure she'll be back to normal and giving me even more cheek by the end of the weekend! LOL 
(Also gave me some extra time to catch up on my blogging! 
Shhhh ;-))

Anyway my card this week is one that I made for Mother's day, for my Gran. An amazing lady who loves the cards that Mom and I have made for her. She loves them that much that she has proudly displayed them in frames around her bungalow!



The Image is a digi from from Tiffany's Garden called 'Dogwood branch'.
Its coloured using my promarkers and prisma pencils for some extra highlights. I spent ages colouring this image and was really pleased with the finished image. I used the colours in the background papers for inspiration!

The papers are from Papermania and the sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

The flowers and lace were from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:


Thanks so much for popping by and I hope that your spring is full of sunshine... and not like the rain we've had here in Doncaster today!

2 Little Girls - a special friendship


Hiya Everyone,

Thanks so much for coming to visit last week, it really cheered me up as its been a busy week again at work but at least its now the weekend!! 

Today's card is one I made for my beautiful Mom. We have an amazing Mom/Daughter relationship but the best thing about it all is that she is also my bestest friend in the whole wide world! (and my biggest blog fan! Haha) Love you Mommy!!!



The image is from Lili of the Valley called 'Summer days'. Here's a close up of the image, coloured with Promarkers and Prisma pencils


The papers are also from Lili of the Valley and part of their amazing collection, called 'Petal fresh'. The papers in the pack just match together perfectly and are fabulous to use!

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, roses, carnations and chrysanthemums, as is the lace.

The butterfly is from my stash of goodies, bought from one of many a craft fair trips!


The inside was decorated with matching papers and a few pearls but I can't seem to remember where I bought the quote from though. Have a feeling it may be one of Mom's that I 'borrowed'! (Haha, love you Mom!)

I've decided to enter this card into the following challenges


Thanks again for stopping by, I'm off to visit you all now! Have a fabulous spring sunshine filled weekend!
